The Breakfast Sammich

Back in my lacto-ovo days, I LOVED stopping through the McDonald's drive-thru for an egg and cheese biscuit or Egg McMuffin (sans the meat, of course). Granted, I didn't eat that way often for fear of the pudge, but Micky D's breakfast was a special treat. This is a far cry from McDonald's since it's vegan and much healthier, but here's my current version of the Tofu Fried Egg and Cheeze Sammich:

My pal Stephanie (of Poopie Bitch) made vegan egg mcmuffins for my moving day back in October, and I got a craving for those. But I didn't have any whole wheat English muffins or faux sausage.

So I used this recipe from VegWeb to cook up some egg-style tofu. Basically, I just pressed and sliced tofu, and then baked it in a dish with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt. Then I topped it with Follow Your Heart cheddar style cheeze. It's served up on Ezekial bread with a dab of Miso Mayo. Perfect start to my day!

Note to My Testers: I'm going to leave the Seitan and Dumplins post up on the tester site for an extra week. In fact, I'm thinking about adding new recipes every two weeks to give people more time to try things out. Let me know what ya'll think ...

that looks like what i need this morning for sure. as for your testers... i'm a horrible tester. i just never seem to have everything i need. i do want to try and get some done - i hope you are getting great reviews!

That looks so good - I love me some breakfast sammitches. I totally need to make some this weekend.

Leaving stuff up for two weeks is fine with me - although I finally got more caught up with testing after making two things last week :). I'm making the seitan and dumplings this Wednesday and I'm totally excited.

My name is Bianca ...

About Me

I'm a 9-year vegan, 19-year vegetarian from the Mid-South, not too far from the muddy banks of the Mississippi River. And that means cornbread, butter beans, and collard greens.
These days, I live in Memphis. Check out my cookbook — Cookin' Crunk. It's filled with yummilicious veganized soul food and country classics.
